Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Chapter 924: Chapter 644: Pick 3 Out of 9, Inspecting Purple Wood (Two-in-One)

Only in the abyss can it find its taste.

…

Outer Sea of the Celestial Cloud Islands, Jade Mountain Island.

Although it’s called Jade Mountain, the island’s entire color is dark red, dotted with some red soil mines.

This red soil belongs to a type of Tier One Spiritual Material, but it’s not really of much use.

However, under the rendering of the red soil, even if numerous demon beast blood mixes into the seawater, falling into the soil, it doesn’t seem abrupt.

“Clean up the battlefield as quickly as possible!” A deep voice sounded on the beach.

Saying this, he collected a blue spirit grass from the beach.

The other cultivators began to tidy up the demon beast corpses and contained all the demon blood using spirit bottles.

The Profound River Infinite Sword Array not only requires beast souls but also sacrifices the sword with demon blood.

However, compared to beast souls, demon blood is easier to acquire.

Therefore, it wasn’t included in the tasks of the Profound Sword Pavilion.

“Senior Brother Xiao!” Just at this time, Fairy Wu Xin and Cheng An appeared together on the beach.

“Senior Brother Xiao’s cultivation of the Bluebell is getting more impressive, even attracting a Tier Four Water Attribute Demon King!” Fairy Wu Xin praised, causing the cultivator surnamed Xiao to feel extremely flattered.

“Junior Sister Wu, you overpraise me. The reason it has such an effect is that Bluebell just happens to attract water attribute demon beasts!” The cultivator surnamed Xiao knew Fairy Wu Xin had a purpose for coming over and then continued:

“Master Xuanming is currently meditating at the mountaintop, let me take you to him!”

The cultivator surnamed Xiao said.

Saying this, he led them towards the mountaintop.

Soon, they reached Jade Mountain, where there was a huge platform with three pavilions on it.

At the moment, each pavilion had an elder, and each one looked older than the next.

Seeing this, the two were immediately shocked.

“Disciple Wu Xin, greets Master Xuanming, Master Xiquan, and Master Daoquan!”

“Disciple Cheng An, greets Master Xuanming, Master Xiquan, and Master Daoquan!”

In their view, having Master Xuanming sent by the sect was already the greatest assurance.

They didn’t expect that, to safeguard the progress of the Profound River Infinite Sword Array, two more True Masters were added.

“Tell me about the situation on the Celestial Cloud Islands and the Luoyun Islands!” Master Xuanming said.

“As for Uncle Master, the disciple has investigated, Master Xuanhu and Master Chang Sheng, Master Huangquan are all in seclusion!”

“Also, the disciple discovered that a fishing boat was quite suspicious a few days ago!” Fairy Wu Xin reported repeatedly.

“Uncle Master Xuanming, disciple dares to say, the Purple Wood Sect has also been moving frequently lately, and the people behind the Yun Family, deep down, fear being one clan. The Cyan Spirit Trading Association also mysteriously refrained from exposing them, fearing it might be a branch of the Taiyi Sect, which has a True Monarch capable of reopening the Teleportation Array now!”

“Moreover, according to my findings, Yun Cai Ni might have already been killed!”

“Why not, let me lead a team to investigate Purple Wood Island!”

“If you want to go, go ahead, but be extremely careful, and make sure it’s in the name of the Haoran Trading Association or Profound Sword Pavilion!” Master Xuanming nodded after some contemplation.

Apparently, still feeling it’s not completely safe, he continued:

“If investigating, check how many Purple Mansions and Foundation Establishments are in the Purple Wood Sect!”

“Also check if the Beast Desolate Wasteland is reappearing, as the number of beast tides seems abnormal!”

“Yes!” Wu Xin nodded repeatedly.

“Cheng An, you don’t need to go. During these days, just stay on Haoran Island. If anything happens here, immediately activate the Treasure Mirror Transmission!”

“This time, even if the entire Cyan Cloud Sea Domain is destroyed, the Profound River Infinite Sword Array must not be delayed!” Master Xuanming spoke solemnly.

Cheng An initially wanted to respond, but seeing the seriousness in Master Xuanming’s eyes, he swallowed his words.

As a Purple Mansion Cultivator, he simply needed to follow orders; arguing without knowing better could easily place him on the frontline of a beast tide.

Then he glanced at the two other True Masters before retreating from the mountaintop.

…

Not far from Jade Mountain Island, countless blood leeches were swarming over a live fish.

The fish, a foot long, still wriggled continuously at the moment.

Yet these blood leeches clung like barnacles on a shell, impossible to shake off or remove.

The fish’s struggles grew weaker and weaker.

At this point, two silhouettes flew in different directions.

One was heading toward Celestial Cloud Island, the other toward Haoran Island beyond Jade Wood Bay.

Without the two spiritual rainbows noticing, one blood leech, seemingly unable to withstand the enormous force, was flung off, twisting and stretching through the water.

It seemed to desire leaping back onto the fish’s body to continue draining blood.

However, a wave crashed over, sweeping the blood leech out of sight!

A thousand miles away, a silhouette emerged from a water cave.

This silhouette wore a Spirit-Blocking Robe, obscuring the face, leaving only a pair of shrewd eyes visible.

These eyes showed both helplessness and worry at the moment.

This person was Ye Haifei.

Through his blood leech’s sensing, he sensed that Jade Mountain Island likely had more than one True Master, rendering him unable to approach the area surrounding Jade Mountain Island, let alone place the Demon-enticing Grass.

If he trespassed, he was confident he couldn’t get within a hundred miles.

He could only impersonate a cultivator from the Profound Sword Pavilion, yet choosing whose identity to assume and how to gain trust posed a headache.

Moreover, he used the Escape Talisman for half a month, but no one discovered him.

Until the previous day, when two people flew out from Jade Mountain Island.

One was Fairy Wu Xin, and the other was Cheng An.

Both were Purple Mansion.

Yet at this moment, Ye Haifei had no solution.

He took out the Clan Token to glance at it and then resolutely headed towards the Celestial Cloud Islands.

…

On Cangyin Island, as each Purple Wood Sect cultivator appeared on the island, they were quite perplexed, as the island not only had a Tier Four Spiritual Vein but also a Tier Four Array.

Gathering before the island now, their confidence significantly increased.

Everyone was earnestly setting up arrays, refining magical artifacts.

“Is the beast tide truly coming soon this time?”

“It is indeed, for the sect leader swore an oath on the Heavenly Dao. Who is the sect leader, but a Hundred-Year Purple Mansion!”

“We should heed the sect leader and quickly kill enough demon beasts, so we can retreat into the Celestial Horse Sea Domain early. As long as we slay enough demon beasts, even if we retreat early, the Cyan Cloud Alliance won’t have grounds to accuse us!”

“Let’s hope so!”

“Moreover, didn’t Elder An mention that both Profound Sword Pavilion and Haoran Trading Association cultivators have been hunting demon beasts these days? You know An Yuhuai, so pedantic, it’s impossible for him to be cunning…”

“Hush, Elder An is here!”

…

Whispered discussions could be heard across the island, and although An Yuhuai was still a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, he appeared quite pleased.

After all, the Purple Wood Sect, once one of four great powers, had become one of three, with increased revenue and expanded territory.

Even the former Yu Chu Sect’s clan land island fell under the Purple Wood Sect’s influence.

The number of Purple Mansion cultivators in the entire sect increased from one to two.

The fact that the sect could receive early information signified an increase in influence.

And as an Elder of Purple Wood Sect, albeit with no merit, he still had his efforts.

He complacently relished this all.

Yet, during this critical period for the sect, seeing anyone attempting to slack off, he wouldn’t allow such bad apples in the sect.

“You few stop whispering. This sect’s task of slaying demon beasts must be completed, or else, if you drag down the sect later, don’t blame this Elder for being harsh with you!”

“Which other sects in the Cyan Cloud Sea Domain can provide you a Tier Four Array and Purple Mansion cultivators to oversee, requiring only thirty percent of the spiritual objects?!”

“Such fortunate cultivation chances, yet you don’t cherish them? How can you be worthy of your past hardships joining the sect, or of your endless days and nights of previous cultivation efforts?”
